spring web security questions - jsf

Question

All,
I have my application setup so that i can use a specific username and password combination:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

</http>
<!-- <authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">

<jdbc-user-service data-source-ref="dataSource"
users-by-username-query="SELECT U.email_address AS username, U.password as password, 'true' as enabled FROM users U where U.email_address=?"
authorities-by-username-query="SELECT U.email_address AS username, 'USER' as authority FROM users U WHERE U.email_address=?"
role-prefix="ROLE_" />
</authentication-provider>
</authentication-manager> -->
<authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">
<authentication-provider>
<password-encoder hash="md5"/>
<user-service>
<user name="user1" password="a564de63c2d0da68cf47586ee05984d7" authorities="ROLE_SUPERVISOR, ROLE_USER, ROLE_TELLER" />
</user-service>
</authentication-provider>
</authentication-manager>
</beans:beans>
Problem is that when I ask it to goto the dataSource, it cannot find the datasource. Reason for this is I have another ApplicationContext.xml in a config folder where all my java source files are. How do people normally organize the project so that this file is able to pickup the datasource file? I want to setup the project accordingly...thanks for the input!
Also, the login works, however, once the user logs in, I want to be able to get the userid/password and I'm not able to. How is that possible?

Answer 1

Implying that you have 2 XML files (in classpath) with spring context config: main-ctx.xml and security-ctx.xml and your are instantiating your app context using main-ctx.xml.
Then you can include config from security-ctx.xml into app context using this in main-ctx.xml (depends on your files locations path may be different):
<import resource="classpath:security-ctx.xml"/>
So you can define dataSource in main-ctx.xml and use it in security-ctx.xml in authentication-manager configuration.
